Below is snippet from X.A.Submap. Quick research shown that keymasks m and m' has bit (1<<13) set when russian layout chosen. I have no idea how to interpret it. All valid keymasks are <= (1<<12) as declared in X11 headers.
According to X11/extensions/XKB.h, modifier mask bits starting at (1<<13) indicate group state. (See XkbBuildCoreState() which builds an event value when Xkb is active.) I *think* you want this; while I don't know the Russian keyboard layout, xmonad's default key bindings are less than mnemonic if you're using the Hebrew or Arabic layouts :) so you may want to define a separate, mnemonic key mapping for use in Russian. (The flip side of this is if you change the group number the Russian layout maps to, you need to make the same change to your xmonad key bindings; this strikes me as bad.) -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
